The game suffers from significant stability issues, particularly with its controls, which are described as buggy and unreliable. Players report that the placement mechanics often fail to function, leading to frustration and a lack of confidence in the game's responsiveness. Overall, these problems severely impact the gameplay experience.
“I won't recommend this game. The controls are buggy (even with the controls being so simple!). It says 'click to place' but it doesn't work 95% of the time, even when it's highlighted green. When you do manage to place an object, it's a 50/50 chance it will just float off before you can place anything else.”
